Team villains except me

"Mattia, look at my spoils!"

Natalie ran towards Mattia excitedly, grabbing a handful of ribbons.

"I grabbed the most ribbons!"

Her orange hair was flying, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Matija was shining.

Mattia hadn't seen Natalie like this for a long time. She smiled slightly and handed the ribbon in her hand to Natalie.

Natalie paused and made a gesture of resistance, but couldn't help but take the ribbon from Mattia.

She put all the ribbons in her backpack, and her smile faded away like a thin cloud. She asked Mattia calmly what to do with her students.

"You didn't like to participate in these things before. These ribbons were caught for them, right? Just give them to me like this-"

"It's for you."

Matija looked at her sister and repeated it.

"It's for you. I really don't like participating in these things, but with you, I think they become fun."

Mattia would never say such a thing before. Natalie didn't know how to react. The only thing she could do was to question it.

"What evidence do you have to prove that you are not lying?"

Mattia thought for a moment and pointed to the messy street.

"The ribbons on this street represent 'brave', which they have. If I wanted to give them ribbons, I would go to the street that represents 'lucky'."

"…Is this what I need? And isn't that your student over there?!"

Natalie pointed angrily toward the end of the street.

Mattia turned her head in surprise and saw the particularly eye-catching red color.

It's Huette.

She hadn't expected to see Huet here.

Huett had no fear at all. If he had, his nickname of "Mad Prince" would not be so famous. She had never seen any weakness in Huett's eyes.

Did he need to be brave, or was one of his teammates not brave enough?

While Matija was still thinking, Natalie called out to the Crown Prince who was about to leave.

"Hey - that red-haired kid, come here!"

Huett in the distance did not pause. He might have heard it, but he did not think it was addressed to him.

Natalie yelled again.

Only then did Hught turn around and see them.

He walked over and greeted Teacher Mattia, who had just returned to O'Neill today.

Hugh Te remembered something again. His green eyes were calm, and his red hair was as hot as fire.

"...Ms. Mattia, happy Illumination Day."

Matthias said thank you with a smile, then held Natalie's hand as she was about to say something unpleasant.

Natalie twisted a few times, but finally let her lead her silently.

The midday sun was hot, but the autumn in Titaig was mild, with a cool breeze that only came when the wind blew. The remaining ribbons on the street were blown up by the wind, lingering and slowly falling down.

Mattia took Natalie and Hugh to a restaurant near their home that served O'Neill's specialties.

Huett held the communicator in silence, and Mattia knew he was sending a message to his teammates.

Natalie turned her head away from looking at her and Hughie, but Natalie's palm was dry and warm, and she kept holding her hand with neither too much nor too little strength.

The colorful ribbons swirling in the sky look like tiger stripes.

Matthias stretched out her hand and received an orange ribbon.

She glanced at Natalie.

Natalie didn't notice her movements. She was looking at the flying ribbons, eager to try.

Matija thought, her sister is still a cub, a cub disguised by age.

She put the orange ribbon in her pocket.

The ribbon on this street represents "candor".

Is she still lacking in frankness?

She didn't know. But she felt that she would get the answer one day. She went to a street shop and bought a lot of snacks that Natalie liked.

Natalie doesn't like O'Neill's specialties. Natalie's family is not originally from O'Neill.

Matthias didn't need to tell Natalie specifically where the snacks belonged.

Natalie knew that Mattia bought all her snacks for her, so she ate them while walking and asked Hugh if he wanted some.

When she is in a good mood, she is kind to the whole world.

Huerter refused. He was asking where his teammates were.

They each talked about the approximate time they would arrive at the restaurant, and Hugh found that Zhulang was the farthest away from the restaurant.

There are only two streets that correspond to this distance.

"Peace" and "Kindness".

It was obvious what Zhu Yi chose.

……

"Xiaoya, why are you here on this street?"

Mulgar approached the spider lady carrying a gift for Dooku.

She was a little surprised when she first saw the spider. She learned a lot about the cubs from Matija, and she thought the spider would probably choose the street that represented "longevity".

But when Zhu Xi appeared here, there were only a few wilted strands of ribbons in her hands.

"for you."

Zhuqi left seven ribbons and handed the rest to Morga.

She pointedly ignored Morga's question and did not explain why she was there.

Mulga gazed at Zhuqiu with gentle eyes.

She knew that Zhu Yi didn't care that much about "peace". Zhu Yi's ribbon was probably for Matija, or she and Ji Lan had snatched it.

"Don't give it to Natalie."

Zhu Yi suddenly spoke up, with a hint of disgust in her black eyes.

She had disliked Natalie from the beginning.

She felt that Teacher Mattia was their teacher who would "send you home", and both Irene and Elliott liked Mattia very much, so she would not allow anyone to hurt Mattia.

She naturally disliked Natalie.

She didn't like the way Natalie hurt Matija, she didn't like Natalie's hostility towards them "sending you home", and she didn't like the trouble Natalie caused Dooku.

Morga was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

"Okay, little bud. I won't give the ribbons you gave me to Natalie. But the ribbons I snatched will still be given to Natalie."

The spider's red eyelashes moved slightly.

"You grabbed it yourself, so of course it doesn't matter who you give it to."

"Are you thinking that this is a ribbon representing 'peace' and it's useless to give it to Natalie?"

Morga smiled and exposed Zhu's thoughts.

Zhu Yi raised her eyebrows and agreed with Morga's words.

Morga shook her head.

"Xiaoya, when I say Natalie is a good child, it is not a conclusion drawn out of blind love as a mother. It is an honor for Gillan and I to adopt Natalie.

The one who was supposed to be the Beast Warrior was Natalie."

Mulga sighed and clenched her hands around the ribbon tightly.

"Natalie's family is not that bad. She has the talent to become a beast warrior. This talent is obvious, and Natalie is famous in Titaige.

But after her talent was discovered, her parents died inexplicably, and the Weiss and Pastro families rushed to adopt her, trying to make her a helper of the family.

As long as one of the families has the help of the Beast Warrior, Titaig will set off a bloody storm. So Gillan and I also participated in Natalie's adoption ceremony.

In Titaige, both the adopted cubs and the adopters need to make a mutual choice, and the cubs’ wishes are the most important.

We didn't have any hope at all because we didn't have many assets at the time and we were in an awkward situation with almost no allies and enemies everywhere. Natalie had no reason to choose us.

But in the end, Natalie chose me and Gillan among those nobles."

Mulga felt the autumn sunshine with the dampness of the rainy season. But there is no rainy season in Titaig.

"Xiaoya, if Natalie didn't love peace, then she would be the Beast Warrior now. Matija doesn't understand, but Gillan, Natalie and I all know it very well.

I didn't deny Mattia's efforts. But Xiaoya, some things are irrefutable facts.

Gillan and I have done some things wrong as parents, but Natalie is impeccable as a sister. If there is anyone in the world who can lose his temper with Mattia, it can only be Natalie. "

Zhu Yi listened in silence. She saw the sadness on Morga's brow.

"What is the most important thing that a family can give to each other? Gillan and I would give our lives for Matija, but for us, what we stand for is more important than our lives.

We will not give up our beliefs in life for Matthias.

But Natalie would. Natalie would give up the most important thing for Mattia, or in other words, Mattia was the most important part of Natalie's life.

Natalie loves Mattia more than Gillan and I do."

Mulga's words omitted many stories, but Zhuyi could feel her emotions from Mulga's words.

Morga does not lie to his cubs.

Zhu Yi was unwilling to understand how all the strange families in this world got along with each other, but now she may have understood a little.

But she still didn't like Natalie.

"The ribbon I give you is yours."

Zhu Yi said this calmly, then turned and left.

Morga was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what Zhu's wife meant.

At this moment, she deeply understood why Matthias said, "My students all have a soft heart."

She loved these cubs, just as her cubs loved them.

……

"I like money, isn't it?"

Elliott, who was holding a bunch of ribbons, met Irene.

He was fairly close to Irene, so he had been waiting at the corner of the street to go to the restaurant with Irene.

He already knew what Irene had chosen. He didn't really want to be strong, but when Irene handed him the ribbon, he took it anyway.

As a courtesy, he picked up a gray ribbon and wrapped it around Irene's hair.

Irene felt it, she reached out and took the ribbon, but she was not angry.

She asked Elliott what he had chosen.

"'rich'."

"Ouch~ Excuse me, Mr. Succubus, why do you pretend to be Norvia?"

Irene asked Ellit with a smile.

Elliott raised an eyebrow and said that he could also like money.

"Ellit, you are a good and careful child~"

Irene and Ellit were walking side by side, and she suddenly said this.

Irene knew that Norvia would not choose what she wanted. Irene also knew that someone would grab what Norvia wanted for her.

She just didn't expect it to be Elliott.

Elliott tapped her head.

"I've already said that I like money too."

"He's a good kid who likes money~"

"... shorty."

"what's wrong?"

"Zhu Si chose 'peace'."

"Uh-huh."

Irene slowed down her pace. She knew what Elliott meant.

If Zhu Si chose "peace", would anyone choose "longevity"?

……

Fiana chose "longevity".

She stood among a group of orcs, tightly grasping the light ribbon.

She always used cold words to tell Zhuqiao that her life was short. She said she was not afraid of death and asked Zhuqiao to accept the reality.

But in fact, she now really wants to live longer. Longer. She wants to live to the limit of human life.

She knew better than anyone how much she had spent on her life. She had spent her future in advance to get through the time safely. Human life was short. She would be the first one to say goodbye in the team.

Fiana had thousands of plans for her territory, but she never figured out how to say goodbye to Zhulang, or how to make Zhulang accept their departure.

She does not pray to the gods, nor does she place her hopes on the ancestors of the tiger tribe.

She just suddenly realized that she didn't want eternal life, but she did want a long future.

Fiana suddenly let go of her hand after she figured it out. She casually put the deformed ribbon aside, then took the communicator and prepared to go to the restaurant near Teacher Mattia's house.

She saw Norvia halfway.

Nolvia walked along the frizzy ribbons.

Fiana stepped forward to help Norvia sort out her hair and asked her what she had chosen.

"I chose 'peace'. Fiana, you chose 'longevity', right?"
